Jack Grealish reveals what it's like being England's poster boy and responds to critics

Jack Grealish is relishing his role as England’s poster boy - even if he feels his critics are determined to tear him down.

The £100million signing capped off his debut season with Manchester City by winning his first Premier League title after a bruising battle with Liverpool. Grealish describes the feat as a "dream come true" despite admitting he could have contributed more to Pep Guardiola's star-studded squad.

Now the 26-year-old turns his attention to England's Nations League clashes with Hungary, Germany and Italy, with the midfielder looking to kick on after emerging as a leading figure in Gareth Southgate's youthful squad. And Grealish insists he enjoys being in the spotlight and understands the pressure comes with being Britain's most-expensive footballer.
